Things To Do
Buffalo City Hall
Buffalo is home to some of the greatest American architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the massive art-deco City Hall. It features murals of the city`s history and an observation tower on the 25th floor with sweeping views of Lake Erie and Buffalo.
Bar-Bill Tavern
We may be the home of wings, but please we beg of you- DO NOT GO TO ANCHOR BAR! There are so many other places that do it better than them, Bar Bill being one of them. You could also try Forty Thieves in the Elmwood Village or Gabriel's Gate in Allentown. You heard it here direct from a Buffalonian! P.S. You will stick out if you ask for a side of ranch- haha!
Vidler's 5 & 10, Inc.
Hard to describe, but difficult to forget once you've visited! The largest 'five & ten' variety store in the world offers more novelty, retro and whimsical items than you can imagine. Historic and nostalgic, it's 'shopping entertainment' at its finest.
Albright-Knox Northland
Although our pride and joy Albright Knox will still be under construction, they have an additional location on Northland. It will be featuring "In These Truths" which is an exhibition of works by Black cultural producers, co-curated by two of Buffalo’s most influential, charismatic, and insightful artists, Edreys Wajed and Aitina Fareed-Cooke, in collaboration with Curator of Public Art Aaron Ott.
Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra
Experience Western New York’s premier Memorial Day tradition as the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus joins your BPO in a program filled with inspiring music and red, white, and blue pageantry.
Buffalo Boat Tours
A 90-minute narrated Buffalo River history tour! Hear the story of the Erie Canal, Buffalo’s history as the largest grain port in the world, and experience the nation’s largest collection of standing grain elevators from just a few feet away.
